It is probably the country that currently poses the most difficult puzzles for all friends of a united Europe, but at least culturally it is one of the most exciting in the East: Hungary exerted a considerable influence on Central European musical history in the 19th and 20th centuries. Yet far from the much-performed Brahms dances, the program features three, partly relatively unknown, Hungarian composers, all born around the turn of the century.
Béla Bartók's "Pictures" of his homeland, which the Swiss conductor Simon Gaudenz introduces at the beginning, are still somewhat familiar.
